At just 17 years old, Tylel Tati is making waves in Ligue 1, quickly establishing himself as a key player for FC Nantes. The central defender, trained at Jonelière, exhibits impressive maturity, game awareness, and calmness under pressure. Discovered at 13 and having spent time at Clairefontaine, he had yet to play professionally last season. However, upon joining, manager Luis Castro placed his trust in him. Tati has started all eleven of his league matches, earning international recognition with the U18 team and signing his first professional contract until 2028. His rapid rise marks him as one of the most promising talents in French football.
His exceptional performances have not gone unnoticed across Europe, attracting interest from several top clubs. Barcelona had already shown interest last summer due to his impressive height (1.92 m), speed, and composure, while Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly taken a keen interest in recent months. PSG views him as a potential asset to strengthen their defensive options alongside Willian Pacho.
Recently, the competition intensified with Bayern Munich entering the fray. The Bavarian club has contacted FC Nantes to discuss the possibility of a transfer, indicating growing interest from major European teams. Juventus and AC Milan have also expressed significant interest in the young talent from Champigny-sur-Marne. In response to this surge of interest, Nantes has set a firm stance, demanding at least €50 million for their star.
However, both FC Nantes and Tati’s camp are remaining level-headed. Currently pursuing a vocational diploma in commerce, the left-footed player is focused on continuing his development in an environment he knows well. No transfer is expected before the season concludes. The clear goal is to help Tati complete a full first season in Ligue 1, take on an increasing role in the squad, and lay the foundation for a promising career ahead. This cautious yet sensible approach reflects the trajectory of a player who, at just 17, is already shifting his career into a new gear.
